How can I translate "find" code from MATLAB to R? - r

I have a model code written in Matlab, and I am trying to translate the code to R. I am almost done, however, I did not manage to convert some simple codes.
These are below:
Assume that I have a row of cells (lets say 50), and the first 10 cells are saturated to water. The rest are under saturated. The below code finds the last saturated cell in the row.
idx_sat_last = find(Exc(t,:)>0, 1, 'last' );
If a cell is saturated, it creates an excess water, so Excess(t,:) > 0 statement is understandable. However, I do not understand rest of the code.
The 2nd code is below. The story of the code is:
If the cell is saturated it creates an excess, else it is a deficit. I do not understand the "includenan" statement.
InSurf(t+1,j)=min(Excess,Deficit(j),'includenan');
Is there anyone who knows how to translate these codes to R?
Thanks in advance..

Maybe you can try this (given a list Exc)
idx_sat_last <- tail(which(Exc[[t]]>0),1)

For loop setup with multiple parameters in R

I'm trying to figure out how to get a for loop setup in R when I want it to run two or more parameters at once. Below I have posted a sample code where I am able to get the code to run and fill a matrix table with two values. In the 2nd line of the for loop I have
R<-ARMA.var(length(x_global_sample),ar=c(tt[i],-.7))
And what I would like to do is replace the -.7 with another tt[i], example below, so that my for loop would run through the values starting at (-1,-1), then it would be as follows (-1,-.99),
(-1,-.98),...,(1,.98),(1,.99),(1,1) where the result matrix would then be populated by the output of Q and sigma.
R<-ARMA.var(length(x_global_sample),ar=c(tt[i],tt[i]))
or something similar to
R<-ARMA.var(length(x_global_sample),ar=c(tt[i],ss[i]))
It may be very possible that this would be better handled by two for loops however I'm not 100% sure on how I would set that up so the first parameter would be fixed and the code would run through the sequence of the second parameter, once that would get finished the first parameter would now increase by one and fix itself at that increase until the second parameter does another run through.
I've posted some sample code down below where the ARMA.var function just comes from the ts.extend package. However, any insight into this would be great.
Thank you
tt<-seq(-1,1,0.01)
Result<-matrix(NA, nrow=length(tt)*length(tt), ncol=2)
for (i in seq_along(tt)){
R<-ARMA.var(length(x_global_sample),ar=c(tt[i],-.7))
Q<-t((y-X%*%beta_est_d))%*%solve(R)%*%(y-X%*%beta_est_d)+
lam*t(beta_est_d)%*%D%*%beta_est_d
RSS<-sum((y-X%*%solve(t(X)%*%solve(R)%*%X+lam*D)%*%t(X)%*%solve(R)%*%y)^2)
Denom<-n-sum(diag(X%*%solve(t(X)%*%solve(R)%*%X+lam*D)%*%t(X)%*%solve(R)))
sigma<-RSS/Denom
Result[i,1]<-Q
Result[i,2]<-sigma
rm(Q)
rm(R)
rm(sigma)
}
Edit: I realize that what I have posted above is quite unclear so to simplify things consider the following code,
x<-seq(1,20,1)
y<-seq(1,20,2)
Result<-matrix(NA, nrow=length(x)*length(y), ncol=2)
for(i in seq_along(x)){
z1<-x[i]+y[i]
z2<-z1+y[i]
Result[i,1]<-z1
Result[i,2]<-z2
}
So the results table would appear as follow as the following rows,
Row1: 1+1=2, 2+1=3
Row2: 1+3=4, 4+3=7
Row3: 1+5=6, 6+5=11
Row4: 1+7=8, 8+7=15
And this pattern would continue with x staying fixed until the last value of y is reached, then x would start at 2 and cycle through the calculations of y to the point where my last row is as,
RowN: 20+19=39, 39+19=58.
So I just want to know if is there a way to do it in one loop or if is it easier to run it as 2 loops.
I hope this is clearer as to what my question was asking, and I realize this is not the optimal way to do this, however for now it is just for testing purposes to see how long my initial process takes so that it can be streamlined down the road.
Thank you

Matrice help: Finding average without the zeros

I'm creating a Monte Carlo model using R. My model creates matrices that are filled with either zeros or values that fall within the constraints. I'm running a couple hundred thousand n values thru my model, and I want to find the average of the non zero matrices that I've created. I'm guessing I can do something in the last section.
Thanks for the help!

partial output of my numeric matrix
First, let me make sure I've wrapped my head around what you want to do: you have several columns -- in your example, PaidLoss_1, ..., PaidLoss_9, which have many entries. Some of these entries are 0, and you'd like to take the average (within each column) of the entries that are not zero. Did I get that right?
If so:
Comment 1: At the very end of your code, you might want to avoid using sum and dividing by a number to get the mean you want. It obviously works, but it opens you up to a risk: if you ever change the value of n at the top, then in the best case scenario you have to edit several lines down below, and in the worst case scenario you forget to do that. So, I'd suggest something more like mean(PaidLoss_1) to get your mean.
Right now, you have n as 252500, and your denominator at the end is 2525, which has the effect of inflating your mean by a factor of 100. Maybe that's what you wanted; if so, I'd recommend mean(PaidLoss_1) * 100 for the same reasons as above.
Comment 2: You can do what you want via subsetting. Take a smaller example as a demonstration:
test <- c(10, 0, 10, 0, 10, 0)
mean(test) # gives 5
test!=0 # a vector of TRUE/FALSE for which are nonzero
test[test!=0] # the subset of test which we found to be nonzero
mean(test[test!=0]) # gives 10, the average of the nonzero entries
The middle three lines are just for demonstration; the only necessary lines to do what you want are the first (to declare the vector) and the last (to get the mean). So your code should be something like PaidLoss1 <- mean(PaidLoss_1[PaidLoss_1 != 0]), or perhaps that times 100.
Comment 3: You might consider organizing your stuff into a dataframe. Instead of typing PaidLoss_1, PaidLoss_2, etc., it might make sense to organize all this PaidLoss stuff into a matrix. You could then access elements of the matrix with [ , ] indexing. This would be useful because it would clean up some of the code and prevent you from having to type lots of things; you could also then make use of things like the apply() family of functions to save you from having to type the same commands over and over for different columns (such as the mean). You could also use a dataframe or something else to organize it, but having some structure would make your life easier.
(And to be super clear, your code is exactly what my code looked like when I first started writing in R. You can decide if it's worth pursuing some of that optimization; it probably just depends how much time you plan to eventually spend in R.)

closed/fixed:Interpertation of basic R code

I have a basic question in regards to the R programming language.
I'm at a beginners level and I wish to understand the meaning behind two lines of code I found online in order to gain a better understanding. Here is the code:
as.data.frame(y[1:(n-k)])
as.data.frame(y[(k+1):n])
... where y and n are given. I do understand that the results are transformed into a data frame by the function as.data.frame() but what about the rest? I'm still at a beginners level so pardon me if this question is off-topic or irrelevant in this forum. Thank you in advance, I appreciate every answer :)
Looks like you understand the as.data.frame() function so let's look at what is happening inside of it. We're looking at y[1:(n-k)]. Here, y is a vector which is a collection of data points of the same type. For example:
> y <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6)
Try running that and then calling back y. What you get are those numbers listed out. Now, consider the case you want to just call out the number 1 in that vector. How would you do that? Well, this is where the brackets come into play. If you wanted to just call the number 1 in y:
> y[1]
[1] 1
Therefore, the brackets are a way of calling out or indexing specific items in the vector. Note that the indexing starts at the value 1 and goes up to the number of items in the vector, or length. One last thing before we go back to the example you gave. What if we want to index the numbers 1, 2, and 3 from the vector but not the rest?
> y[1:3]
[1] 1 2 3
This is where the colon comes into play. It allows us to reference a subset of the numbers. However, it will reference all the numbers between the index left of the colon and right of it. Try this out for yourself in R! Play around and see what happens.
Finally going back to your example:
y[1:(n-k)]
How would this work based on what we discussed? Well, the colon means that we are indexing all values in the vector y from two index values. What are those values? Well, they are the numbers to the left and right of the colon. Therefore, we are asking R to give us the values from the first position (index of 1) to the (n-k) position. Therefore, it's important to know what n and k are. If n is 4 and k is 1 then the command becomes:
y[1:3]
The same logic can apply to the second as.data.frame() command in your question. Essentially, R is picking out different numbers from a vector y and multiplying them together.
Hope this helps. The best way to learn R is to play around with a command, throw different numbers at it, guess what will happen, and then see what happens!

How to overcome an infinite loop?

I am totally new to R. Hopefully you can help. I am trying to simulate from a Hawkes process using R. The main idea is that-first of all I simulated some events from a homogeneous Poisson process. Then each of these events will create their own children using a non homogeneous Poisson process. The code is like as below:
SimulateHawkesprocess<-function(n,tmax,lambda,lambda2){
times<-Simulatehomogeneousprocess(n,lambda)
count<-1
while(count<n){
newevent<-times[count] + Simulateinhomogeneousprocess(lambda2,tmax,lambdamax=NA)
times<-c(times,newevent)
count<-count+1
n<-length(times)
}
return(times)
}
But the r code is producing this infinite loop(probably because of the last line: (n<-length(times))). How can I overcome this problem? How can I put a stopping condition?
This is not a R specific problem. You need to get your algorithm working correctly first. Compare the code you have written against what you want to do. If you need help with the algorithm then tag the question as such. Moreover the function call to Simulateinhomogeneousprocess is very inconsistent. Some insight into that function would help. What is that function returning, a number or a vector?
Within the loop you are increasing the value of n by at least 1 each time so you never reach the end.
newevent<-times[count] + Simulateinhomogeneousprocess(lambda2,tmax,lambdamax=NA)
This creates a non empty variable
times<-c(times,newevent)
Increases the "times" vector by at least 1 (since newevent is non-empty)
count<-count+1
n<-length(times)
You increase the count by 1 but also increase the n value by atleast 1 thus creating a never ending loop. One of these things has to change for the loop to stop.

using value of a function & nested function in R

I wrote a function in R - called "filtre": it takes a dataframe, and for each line it says whether it should go in say bin 1 or 2. At the end, we have two data frames that sum up to the original input, and corresponding respectively to all lines thrown in either bin 1 or 2. These two sets of bin 1 and 2 are referred to as filtre1 and filtre2. For convenience the values of filtre1 and filtre2 are calculated but not returned, because it is an intermediary thing in a bigger process (plus they are quite big data frame). I have the following issue:
(i) When I later on want to use filtre1 (or filtre2), they simply don't show up... like if their value was stuck within the function, and would not be recognised elsewhere - which would oblige me to copy the whole function every time I feel like using it - quite painful and heavy.
I suspect this is a rather simple thing, but I did search on the web and did not find the answer really (I was not sure of best key words). Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thxs / g.
It's pretty hard to know the optimum way of achieve what you want as you do not provide proper example, but I'll give it a try. If your variables filtre1 and filtre2 are defined inside of your function and you do not return them, of course they do not show up on your environment. But you could just return the classification and make filtre1 and filtre2 afterwards:
#example data
df<-data.frame(id=1:20,x=sample(1:20,20,replace=TRUE))
filtre<-function(df){
#example function, this could of course be done by bins<-df$x<10
bins<-numeric(nrow(df))
for(i in 1:nrow(df))
if(df$x<10)
bins[i]<-1
return(bins)
}
bins<-filtre(df)
filtre1<-df[bins==1,]
filtre2<-df[bins==0,]
